How are we getting virus-free clones?
I need some hive knowledge!
I've had a virus-free clone of C. warscewiczii alba 'Firmin Lambeau' for awhile now and just ordered another cattleya hybrid that is almost certainly a virus-free clone from a CymMV positive mother plant. Looking online only got me to dissertations that took me far outside of what I know.
How is this possible? And, I have a note on the tag of my most recent purchase: "clone from DBE plant." Does anyone know what this means?
Many thanks! I'm going to contact the grower and see if I can learn anything from them, too.
